<p>(206) 984-1007Argentum Corporationhttp://www.argentuma.com/company.html</p><p>______________________________________________________________________</p><p>Argentum Backup 2.1 for Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003.Revolutionary 64-bit Backups For The Future! New!February, 2004</p><p>______________________________________________________________________</p><p>February, 2004 Argentum announced version 2.1 of Argentum Backup, thefastest, easiest and smallest ergonomic backup software productavailable for Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003. Argentum announces animportant, principal innovation - full and native support for Zip64,new 64-bit extensions to Zip format, which is used as a standard,portable way to store personal and corporate backups, reliably andsecurely. Argentum Backup works in conjunction with WinZip 9, aworld-famous Zip utility, to back up and restore valuable data on anyWindows desktop or laptop, either at home or in the office.</p><p>In addition to supporting the original Zip file format, ArgentumBackup 2.1 now supports the 64-bit extensions (Zip64) to the Zip fileformat, introduced with the release of original WinZip 9. The extendedformat lets everyone back up their data in huge Zip backup files ofvirtually unlimited size. The original Zip file format limited thenumber of member files in a Zip file to 65,535, and the maximum sizeof both the Zip file itself and any member item to 4 gigabytes. Forall practical purposes, the 64-bit extended format eliminates allthese restrictions. Argentum Backup 2.1 remains fully compatible withthe original file format and uses the original Zip format wheneverpossible.</p><p>"One of the best things I like about Argentum Backup is that it simplycreates a Zip file. It doesn't use a file format that may not becompatible with other machines or that requires software from theIomega, etc." - said Fernand Ouellette, a long-time user of ArgentumBackup from Essex Junction, Vermont, USA. "For example, if my homecomputer crashed and I was using Microsoft Backup for Windows 98, Icouldn't open the files at work while my home computer was beingrepaired, since my PC at work uses Windows XP, which isn't compatiblewith Microsoft Backup for Windows 98. In short, I like the fact thatit uses a format I can quickly open on any machine without trying tofind and load software. Great, simple, intuitive product."</p><p>Other than that, Argentum Backup remains what it has always been, aquick and reliable backup solution for everyone. It was designedaround and built for end users. A key design goal for the product wasto ensure that users spend their time accomplishing their objectives,rather than worrying about or having to manage their software.
